A Study of Russian Censorship: 1703–1903
This reprint of the 1904 edition by Nikolai Alexandrovich Engelhardt offers a detailed examination of the history of censorship in Russia, spanning two centuries from the reign of Peter the Great to the early 1900s. The author argues that the development of censorship reflects the level of societal maturity and helps define the position of the writer within the state. Drawing on both official censorship statutes and the recorded opinions of Russian authors, censors, and government officials, Engelhardt explores the unique characteristics of Russian press control. The work investigates how literary figures and authorities viewed the obstacles imposed by censorship, providing insight into the relationship between literature and power. This reprint preserves the original pre-reform orthography of the 1904 edition. Price: 1710.00 RUR.
